LOL at me being mad. You obviously don't understand that increasing the cap doesn't increase the % available to pay players. 53 players have to be paid. One player taking a huge portion of that % limits the ability of the team to build around them. 

Exactly!!! There is a limit on the amount a team can play one player and still be able to compete long term.

Jackson has a lot of wear and tear. I don’t want Denver situation with Wilson.

The cap is really not a problem as long as the current TV deal is active. It will rise a lot, especially with current inflation.

This is the time to overspend saint's style.

I would be more concerned about the picks.

A lot of people are trying to write off Wilson after 1 bad season.

 

Yall going to look crazy when he starts playing great again with a offensive coach like Payton.

Same with Watson the dude hasn't played football in 2 years and yall writing him off after 6 warmup games.lol

 

Slow down people these guys need to be bad for consecutive years before we RIP them.

Wilson will be 35 this year and he took more pounding than Kardashian over the last 13 years. His mobility which made him dangerous QB is gone.  Can he be a simple pocket passer?  We shall see.

Jackson is 25. Wilson is like 34 or something. Injury risk? Perhaps. All this wear? Not really.

The not finishing the past 2 seasons could be a huge red flag for someone wanting to set the market on a fully guaranteed contract at the QB position. I think that part of the contract is a big part of the sticking point in the discussion.

No Lamar. Let him bury another team.

If you didn't want Cam after his 7th season, why do you want Lamar to build around for his 6th and 7th season as he is ending his career. QBs that play this style of game you draft and use up like a RB. 7 to 9 year career as the hits take their toll.
